Biodiversity valuation

Case studies for biodiversity valuation
A searchable inventory of case studies on the economic valuation of biodiversity and ecosystem services in ORs/OCTs and beyond. This inventory is the result of a non-exhaustive review of peer-reviewed literature and technical reports that has been carried out in the context of NetBiome-CSA. The data presented include the location of the valuation study, the individual ecosystem services(s) covered, the valuation methods applied, as well as links to the original publications. The Report on The value of biodiversity and ecosystem services in the EU’s Outermost Regions and Overseas Countries and Territories is avalable for download.

Training and communication materials on biodiversity valuation
To promote capacity building regarding decision making on socio-economic valuation of biodiversity, a list of training and communication material on valuation of biodiversity and ecosystem services is provided here. The materials gathered here cover a range of purposes, from providing introductory background knowledge to developing capacities and sharing best practices for practical application, and target a variety of stakeholders and audiences. They include a wide range of approaches to valuing nature and biodiversity, including ecosystem services and natural capital approaches as well as non-western narratives on the value of biodiversity. Some materials are country or region-specific, and others are for general application.
